Interesting to note that of the top 40, 35 are of ethnic Chinese origins.Of the five non-Chinese, four people have links to India: Vivian Chandran, Filipino-American widow of Indian origin businessman Robert Chandran, who died in a helicopter crash in Indonesia this January, garment-maker Kartar Singh Thakral, Mustafa Centre owner Mustaq Ahmad and exporter Sunny George Verghese of Olam International Limited, who is also the Chairman of International Enterprise of Singapore (f.k.a. Trade Development Board).
The other non-Chinese is Victor Sassoon, of Jewish descent, who owns about 500 Coffee Bean outlets worldwide, and sells Rolex and other luxury watches in Indonesia.

I saw this list. I am not interested.
Well, you should, as these are masters of Kaizen.
If you read about how and why such people people succeed, I am sure that you will find that many read biographies of successful or great men and women to learn and emulate.
Without continuous improvements, these people would not be where they are today.
